[mythtv-users] OT: lirc-0.7.0pre2 installation confusion

[James Pifer]

Thanks, that was just the kind of answer I was looking for. I have the
source installed. I run the commands like you suggested:

make oldconfig
make dep
make mrproper
make

Are those run in the right order? Any ideas?

Thanks,
